2 Toronto Cricket Club Preamble:

Cricket came to Canada with the English.

British immigrants to the New World and United Empire Loyalists, who moved north after the American Revolution, brought the game to the village of York in Upper Canada. The time – late 1700’s to early 1800’s.

There is considerable evidence that Cricket was played by English regiments assigned to the garrison of Fort York and elsewhere in Upper Canada during these early years.

There are also references to cricket activity in Guelph, Hamilton, Kingston and Woodstock during this period. However, few matches were arranged between cities as travel was difficult.

First recorded match: 1834 – Toronto C.C. vs. Guelph C.C.

Toronto Cricket Club 3 Significant Dates for Cricket in Toronto

1827 Barber established the first civilian cricket club – the York Cricket Club. He set the rules/bylaws of the club and officers were elected to run it.

The Toronto Patriot Newspaper “extolled the merits of cricket in Toronto and was delighted to hear of the newly formed club”.

1829 Upper Canada College was established by Lt. Governor John Colbourne (Lord Seaton)

Location: King and Simcoe Streets (NB the Royal Alexandra Theatre is built on part of school’s former site) Staff: included Barber, engaged as writing master and fees collector Students: from the Grammar School and local gentry Fig. 2 George Anthony Barber Curriculum: academic subjects and physical May 18, 1802 activity, i.e. sports such as cricket Birthdate of George Anthony Barber in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England. He subsequently became known as “the Father of Canadian Cricket”

1823-25 Barber, a teacher, assisted Reverend Thomas D. Phillips at a private school in England.

1826 Barber and Phillips emmigrated to York. Phillips became the principal of a York Grammar school, Barber, a master, taught writing and mathematics. The school was located in the Fig. 3 Upper Canada College, King Street vicinity of Jarvis and Adelaide Streets. NB. There is some evidence of an early Cricket field in that area. Once at U.C.C., Barber lost no time in organizing and training interested teachers and students A devotee of Cricket, it was not long before into becoming skilled cricketers, worthy Barber found space, prepared the pitch opponents for members of the Y.C.C. who had and organized teachers and students into a followed Barber to the new school. formidable cricket team.

4 Toronto Cricket Club 1836 Barber changed the name of the York Cricket Club to the Toronto Cricket Club. This reflected the government decision to change the name of the City of York to the City of Toronto. Toronto was the original Inuit name for this early settlement in Upper Canada.

This match, now in its 182nd year, continues to be played annually.

What Happened Next to the Toronto Cricket Club

No longer based at U.C.C., the T.C.C. began its Cricket fields sprang up as the city grew. For nomadic existence. This continued for the next example, mention is made of Glen Grove Park (west eighty-plus years (1839-1926). side of Yonge St. at Glen Grove Ave) in the village of Eglinton where many journeyed to enjoy these Cricket, lacrosse, popular with the native Canadians, pastimes.

The cricket field in Etobicoke near the Humber River, present site of Lambton Golf Club, also provided a base and matches with the nearby military garrison.

Governor, according to the newspaper of the day. By the 1880’s the city was expanding to the west and property was needed. Part of the Grange estate was now required and the T.C.C. had to move once more.

This time to the University of Toronto campus. For the next years, until the mid-twenties, matches were played on the front campus, the field behind the present Trinity College or on the back campus, current site of Varsity Stadium.

After moving to the University grounds, the T.C.C may have also used the Toronto Lacrosse grounds, for a short period. Fig. 11 The Grange

The 1860’s found the club situated at the Grange, a lovely estate belonging to the Boulton family, near Orde and McCaul Streets. William Boulton, a master at U.C.C, moved there after the death of his father. One of the elite and a lover of sports, he constructed a racetrack with a cricket pitch in the centre and a lacrosse field on the property. The cricket field was known as Taddle Creek.

Toronto Cricket Club 7 The Toronto Cricket Club and Trinity College

Sadly, the sport failed to make a comeback after war end. A special game between the T.C.C. and T.C.C.C. in May 1919 in which T.C.C.C. was soundly beaten, proved to be a signal of what was to come.

1925 Hope for revitalization finally ended when Trinity College moved to the present location and became part of the U of T.

Fig. 14 Trinity College - 1852

1852 Trinity College – Queen St. opens its doors

Trinity College officials determine that it would be appropriate to form the Trinity College Cricket Club.

Barber sent his son, George Anthony to teach, coach and to produce a team that could play on equal terms with members of the T.C.C.

During the peak years, fine cricket was played by the students at the college.

However, in the early 1900’s and at the same time as cricket was losing its public following, Trinity Fig. 15 Trinity College - 1925 students were experiencing problems with exam schedules, shorter terms and were not always available to play. Attendance waned. Then came the war years.

8 Toronto Cricket Club The Toronto Cricket Club and the Future

1922 T.C.C. leader Norman O. Seagram with fellow members Edward F. Seagram, Thomas W. Seagram, William G. Gooderham and Robert A. Laidlaw purchased 17 acres of land in the area of Wilson Avenue and Avenue Road for the express purpose of establishing a permanent home for the T.C.C. They invested $65,000 in building the club house and preparing the cricket field.

Fig. 16 Under Construction

While active, these gentlemen personally covered the annual deficit. But by the mid 1930’s, it became necessary for the club to sell lots around the perimeter of the property to cover these expenses.

Wisely, in 1928, N. Seagram created a trust to hold title to the property in perpertuity, to ensure the survival of cricket. He named five independent Fig. 18 Ladies at “The Cricket Ball” cricket playing schools as beneficiaries - Appleby College, Ridley College, St. Andrews College, Trinity College School and Upper Canada College. N.B. The terms of the trust were updated to reflect the necessary changes required at the time of amalgamation.

The “new” Toronto Cricket Club soon became a landmark in the fast developing North Toronto.

Members enjoyed the lovely property and the social amenities now available in their first permanent home. Besides the outdoor activities, socializing, theatricals and parties provided many pleasant diversions for young and old. Fig. 19 Comedy, Drama and Music on Stage The war years were difficult with many members serving in the forces. But, cricket was always the mainstay.

It should be noted that not all members of the Canadian/Ontario teams who participated in the tours/matches mentioned in this document were members of the T.C.C. Whenever possible, they have been so designated. (see 1844 - Canada vs. U.S.A.)

1840 Members of St. George’s Cricket Club, based in New York City arrived in Toronto expecting a match with the T.C.C.

It was a prank, perpetrated by a certain Mr. Phillpots, T.C.C. member, who was not to be found. After much discussion negotiating and paper work, it was Fig. 25 The Oldest International agreed that a match would be played the following Athletic Event in the World day ($250-a side).

The individuals acknowledged here are but a very, very few of all those who made Cricket the #1 sport in Canada, saw its decline and worked to ensure that it remains part of Canadian sporting life.

Also, included are several Cricket greats from other countries who played a significant role in the life of the T.C.C.

Significant too, is the consistent support and participation of the government officials over the years.
